              Abstract. Indonesia as a good market and good price, meaning that Indonesia is considered a
              good market and also has good business prospects for the circulation of these prohibited goods.
              Drug cases during the COVID-19 pandemic have increased significantly. Drug dealers take
              advantage of the momentum of the COVID-19 pandemic by distributing drugs in Indonesia.
              Innovation is needed in the current narcotics problem. This research aims to describe the situation
              and conditions of drug abuse in Indonesia during the COVID Pandemic, the criminalization of
              drug abuse in the perspective of neurocriminology and the prevention of drug abuse in the
              inherent supervision of the community. The writing method uses a qualitative method with a
              literature study model. The results show that neurocriminology can be used in sentencing drug
              abusers for rehabilitation while social control theory can be used in prevention efforts involving
              the community.

       1.     Introduction
       1.1.   Background
       The problem  of illegal drugs has recently made countries in the world become worried
and restless. This concern and unrest is based on at least 271 million people around the world
with an age range between  15 and 64 years or 5.5% of the global population recorded by the
United Nations Office on Drugs (UNODC) known to have consumed drugs. Drug cases in the
COVID-19 pandemic have increased significantly. According to Metro Jaya Police Chief
Inspector General Nana  Sudjana (in Natalisa et al., 2020) said, in April the number of cases
increased by  120%  compared   to March  2020. Drug  dealers are taking advantage  of the
momentum   of the COVID-19  pandemic  by distributing drugs in Indonesia. The dealers estimate
that the police are focusing on COVID-19 prevention efforts. According to Sumirat (in Putranto,
2015), who  is a public relations officer at National Narcotics Board Republic of Indonesia
(BNN),  Indonesia is a good market and good price, meaning that Indonesia is considered a good
market and also has good business prospects for the distribution of illicit goods.
       The government  has issued several policies and programs to prevent and eradicate drug
abuse. One of them  is the National Movement for the Rehabilitation of 100,000 Victims of
